View Full Version : bring strap for eye-glasses
TIP: Use strap for eye-glasses at water parks. My Husband lost his glasses on family raft ride.

... is a candidate for a Croaky! Real Croakies are the best; you can push them way back up the earpieces so they stay put, and they don't stretch out when wet.

I love my strap for my glasses. It made the Tower of Terror so much more exciting, as i could see. I got mine at the ASMo in 10/99.

Excellent tip! I wish I had them when I rode RNR and at BB.

Another vote for holders like Croakies that hold your glasses tight to your head. At Blizzard Beach, I had just regular glasses holders on my glasses (not Croakies, sad to say). I fell off my inner tube while going down the Lazy River. As I went under, the glasses strap had enough boyancy to float up off my head. As the string got wet, it got heavier and sunk, so my glasses sunk to the bottom.
Lesson learned: when in water, use Croakies.

... they are available at most sporting goods stores nationwide, and just about everywhere when in Florida. They float, and can be shortened up to headband-length so that glasses stay put if you are moving quickly. Depending on where you buy them, they run between $3-7 each.
